Yes, I just noted that as I was surfing for Large Rifle primers; it may be manufactured by Privi over in the Balkans.

Thanks Whig, great advice. Since acquiring my 1899 Krag carbine a few years ago, I have reloaded and fired off nearly 200 Hornady 220 gr RN rounds; I have 1 unopened box remaining. I have decided not to buy anymore reloading components until I can get a brick of Large Rifle primers and Large Pistol ...

Mistake, off by 100 years. Should be Model 1899 Krag and Model 1899 Savage in.303 Savage. Really awful, as I taught American History at the University level.

Good Morning Shooters & Reloaders of .308, 180 gr. RN Jacketed Bullets. Three weeks ago I posted a request for help finding this bullet; thanks to all who responded! This morning I pulled up the Mid-South reloaders website and noted they had this bullet in stock, they were O/S at Mid-South a mon...

Waterman, you are right! However, no ammo manufacturer makes the .303 Savage ammo anymore. Back 40 years ago, Winchester would make a limited run of it every couple of years, but they stopped doing that in the late 1980's. In fact, that is why I got back into reloading about 25 years ago. .303 Savag...

In 2020 shortly after I acquired my 1899 carbine, I found some new Hornady 180 gr. SP ammo on the Internet, I think it was Midway. Bought 2, 20 round boxes. It was costly, circa $45. per box and that was pre-covid pricing. It cycled perfectly, fairly accurate at 75 yds., and I have reloaded of brass...

Waterman, Thank You! I like high velocity and accuracy, and I do like leading. Therefore, based upon your input, I am going to wait for either Nosler, Sierra, or Hornady to make a run of .308, 180 gr. RN, jacketed bullets. The only rifle I have a real problem with is my Savage Model 99, in .303 Sava...

Ebruce & Waterman, Thank you for the information on hard cast lead bullets. I use lead bullets with gas checks when reloading for my .44 Mag (both revolver and rifle) as well as for my .45-70 Marlin Model 95C. My suppliers Oregon Trail and Bear Tooth Bullets. I shoot a lot of .03-06 and .303 Sav...

Hello All, I have not posted in a while because I have been out of Large Rifle primers and cannot locate any. But, the primer shortage is not the reason for this posting. In my 1899 Krag carbine I get the best accuracy results using Hornady 180 gr and 220 gr Round Nose Interlock bullets. For the las...
